In the following days, the gates of the Ouyang mansion were frequently visited by familiar and unfamiliar faces, all seeking Doctor Wan's medical attention.
Since agreeing two days prior to treat the parents of Gu Shunyan and other patrons, Wan Yunting had been sought after by numerous patients. He did not refuse them, attending to and diagnosing each one before prescribing medication.
Consequently, Wan Yunting set up a table with the Four Treasures of the Study, a pulse pillow, an acupuncture case, and several bottles of medicinal pills and powders for urgent use, which he had asked Gu Yuanbai to deliver.
"Director Lin, your stomach ailment seems to be a result of your drinking, isn't it?"
Seated before Wan Yunting was a middle-aged man in a suit.
He was the chairman of the Lin Group in the capital. Upon hearing Wan Yunting's remark, he nodded repeatedly. "Yes, Doctor Wan, as you know, we have many social engagements. My stomach problems stem from drinking too much in my youth. I've had a perforated stomach and undergone surgery. Although I'm much better now, it still aches occasionally."
"I've consulted many traditional Chinese medicine doctors and taken a lot of medicine, but it was all to no avail. I heard from Director Gu that you can treat illnesses, so I specifically came to visit."
The Director Gu he mentioned was naturally Gu Shunyan. Wan Yunting gently lifted his hand from the man's pulse and smiled confidently, "Rest assured, I'll write you a prescription. Take it, get the herbs prepared, and boil them for three days to try."
"Alright, thank you, Doctor Wan."
Director Lin was pleased. Seeing Wan Yunting pick up his brush and write the prescription in the Slender Gold style made him even more excited. He tentatively asked, "Doctor Wan, you write prescriptions with such beautiful calligraphy. Aren't you afraid we'll take them out and sell them?"
Wan Yunting, who was writing the prescription, chuckled, "Would you be willing to?"
Director Lin paused, then burst into laughter. "It is my honor, Lin, to receive a prescription and a piece of calligraphy from the immortal calligrapher Wan. I should hang it up high for admiration."
After finishing the prescription, Wan Yunting stamped his seal on it. He picked it up, fanned it to dry the ink, and then handed it to Director Lin with a smile. "You are too kind. The consultation fee is five hundred."
Director Lin took the prescription and was momentarily stunned, exclaiming in surprise, "Only five hundred? That's too little, Doctor Wan. I should at least pay you five million..."
Setting aside Wan Yunting's medical skills, his Slender Gold calligraphy alone was worth far more than five million.
Currently, a piece of Wan Yunting's calligraphy was valued at over a hundred million yuan, and a single prescription had once fetched tens of millions, forcing Wan Yunting to switch to using a ballpoint pen for his prescriptions later on.
"Director Lin, do you think I lack that five million?" Wan Yunting waved his hand at him with a smile.
Director Lin's expression was one of stunned realization, and then he chuckled, "Alright, Doctor Wan, I'll do as you say, five hundred yuan..."
"Thank you. Please let the next person in line come in when you go out," Wan Yunting said with a smile.
Director Lin nodded and turned to leave for the living room, only to find seven or eight people already seated in chairs, waiting. Among them was an elder, which made Director Lin's eyes nearly pop out. He exclaimed, "Elder Wu, you're here too?"
The elder, dressed in a Tang suit, was named Wu San. He was a former business magnate in the capital. Excluding the large family enterprises, the Wu Group, as a private enterprise, was a top-tier conglomerate in the capital. Wu San, as its founder, had retired over a decade ago and had been living a life of leisure since.
"Elder Wu, you're number six, right? Please, come in." Director Lin said excitedly.
Wu San nodded kindly, stood up with the support of his grandson, and walked towards the study within. The other people waiting for medical attention were all individuals of considerable status...
In the past few days, Wan Yunting had been openly practicing medicine, but the news had only spread within the upper circles. Ordinary people were completely unaware of this, and there had been no news reports.
Therefore, those who came to see Wan Yunting were all people of significant standing.
Wan Yunting paid no mind to their intentions in seeking his treatment. He hadn't done this in a long time, not since he had a regular practice seeing patients in the traditional Chinese medicine department at Nanfang Hospital in Huadu City. Thus, he savored the sense of accomplishment that came from treating people.
"Sister Luo Tang, Miaomiao, you're here."
Outside, Ouyang Fanmeng greeted Gu Luotang and Qi Miaomiao, who had arrived. They smiled, "Sister Fanmeng, where's your brother?"
Ouyang Fanmeng pointed towards the courtyard. "He's inside treating patients."
Gu Luotang, dressed in a gauzy Hanfu gown, was as graceful and elegant as an immortal. She smiled, "His medical practice license has been processed. Miaomiao, take it in to him. I'm going to visit Sister Yanxi."
"Then I'll go by myself."
Qi Miaomiao held a document bag. Gu Luotang nodded with a smile and turned to Ouyang Fanmeng, "Take me to see Sister Yanxi."
"Okay, Sister Luo Tang. Follow me. Sister Yanxi and my mother are behind the garden..."
With that, Ouyang Fanmeng took Gu Luotang's hand to find her mother and Fang Yanxi...
Qi Miaomiao, wearing a Hanfu mini-skirt that revealed a pair of straight and beautiful legs, paired with delicate low-heeled sandals, happily entered with the document bag. However, she saw that the living room was filled with people. They were all dressed in elegant attire, both men and women, each appearing to be of extraordinary status.
"So many people?"
Qi Miaomiao looked at these people in surprise. They were all chatting quietly amongst themselves, not daring to speak loudly to disturb Wan Yunting inside.
Servants were attending to the patients outside. Qi Miaomiao glanced around, then turned and entered the large study within. As expected, she saw the man treating a patient. She walked in and beckoned to Wan Yunting with a giggle.
Wan Yunting glanced at her and smiled. He handed the prescription he had written to Wu San, saying, "Elder Wu, just get the herbs according to the prescription, boil them, and take them. Come back for a follow-up in a week."
"Yes, alright, Doctor Wan."
Wu San took the prescription and looked at the Slender Gold calligraphy with admiration, unable to help but praise, "What excellent handwriting."
Wu San's grandson paid the five hundred yuan consultation fee. Wan Yunting stood up and watched the grandfather and grandson leave before smiling at Qi Miaomiao, "Why have you come?"
"Here, your medical practice license is all processed. However, the related licenses for the traditional Chinese medicine clinic are still being processed and should be ready in about three days." Qi Miaomiao went over and handed him the document bag. Wan Yunting took it and opened it, smiling, "Are you here alone?"
"No, I came with my senior sister, but she's gone to see Sister Yanxi!" Qi Miaomiao's large eyes scanned the items on the table as she spoke.
Wan Yunting's expression flickered, and his heart tightened slightly. Qi Miaomiao turned and shot him a glance, knowing what he was worried about. She couldn't help but smile, "Brother Yunting, don't worry. When you weren't here, we interacted with Sister Yanxi a few times in private. It was quite good."
Hearing this, Wan Yunting breathed a sigh of relief. Seeing Qi Miaomiao there, he smiled, "Then you can be my assistant. Let the people outside come in..."
"Okay."
Qi Miaomiao was happy. Just as she was about to go out and call the people waiting outside, Ouyang Fanmeng rushed in and shouted, "Brother, Yanxi is about to give birth! Hurry over there..."
"Ah, she's giving birth."
Qi Miaomiao, who had just come out, heard the exclamation. Wan Yunting inside stood up and also hurried out, asking his sister, "Quickly get someone to take her to the hospital."
"They're already preparing to go. I came to call you."
"Okay, okay, okay..."
Upon hearing that Fang Yanxi was about to give birth, Wan Yunting was flustered with excitement. He then bowed apologetically to those waiting in the living room, "Everyone, I'm truly sorry, my wife is about to give birth, and I must go now. I hope you'll forgive me."
"Don't mention it, Doctor Wan. We'll come back another day. You should hurry over." The people waved their hands, shaking their heads and indicating that it was alright.
"Alright, then the day after tomorrow, the day after tomorrow you can all come again." Wan Yunting was very apologetic, after all, they had waited for so long.
"Alright, alright, Doctor Wan, hurry and go..."
"Congratulations, Doctor Wan..."
These people also offered their congratulations. Wan Yunting smiled and nodded, then turned to call Qi Miaomiao and his sister Fanmeng, and they all ran out together to find Fang Yanxi and the others...
"Quick, quick, inform the old man that Yanxi is giving birth..."
Xia Xiangyun and Gu Luotang, while supporting Fang Yanxi out, asked a servant to inform Elder Ouyang Shenhe and also called her husband Ouyang Zhixin, asking him to go directly to the hospital from his company.
"What? She's giving birth? Let's go, let's go, let's go see..."
Ouyang Shenhe, who was in a pavilion by the lake, stood up excitedly upon hearing that his great-granddaughter-in-law Fang Yanxi was giving birth. Ah Zhen quickly supported him as they went.
"Come, be careful..."
At the entrance of the Ouyang mansion, the car was ready. Wan Yunting helped Fang Yanxi into it and also called out to Gu Luotang and Qi Miaomiao, "You two should come along too."
"Okay."
So everyone got into the cars and headed directly to a private hospital that had already been booked.
Upon arriving at the hospital, Fang Yanxi was immediately taken to the delivery room for examinations. The labor caused Fang Yanxi immense pain. Wan Yunting accompanied her throughout, as did her mother Xia Xiangyun, Gu Luotang, and Qi Miaomiao.
"Dad, you're here too."
Ouyang Zhixin arrived in a hurry with his assistant and happened to meet Elder Ouyang Shenhe and Ah Zhen. The elder smiled, "My great-granddaughter-in-law is giving birth, so of course, I, her great-grandfather, must come and see."
Ouyang Zhixin, his face filled with excitement, smiled. The father and son walked towards the delivery room and coincidentally met Xia Xiangyun, Ouyang Fanmeng, Gu Luotang, and Qi Miaomiao coming out. They stopped them and said, "She's giving birth."
"Hello Uncle, hello Grandpa..."
Upon seeing Ouyang Zhixin and Ouyang Shenhe, Gu Luotang and Qi Miaomiao quickly greeted them.
"You two girls are here too." Ouyang Shenhe said with a smile.
"Then we'll wait outside."
Upon hearing that his daughter-in-law was giving birth, Ouyang Zhixin was excited. He immediately asked, "Did they check if it's a boy or a girl before?"
"No."
Xia Xiangyun said, "To avoid harming the fetus, we didn't check before. However, Young Wan said it's a girl."
"A girl."
Ouyang Shenhe's old face showed a hint of disappointment upon hearing it was a girl.
But Ouyang Zhixin was beaming with joy, saying, "A daughter is wonderful! I'm about to become a grandfather..."
Ouyang Shenhe glanced at Gu Luotang and Qi Miaomiao, and his old face also broke into a smile. "A daughter is good too. You can have a few more boys later."
Being looked at by their grandfather made Gu Luotang and Qi Miaomiao blush. They naturally also wanted to have children with men...
